The closest thing to ESPN PER is "VAL" (valoración) but it's more similar to Eficciency -in Europe fouls made and received are computed- than to PER.

Thanks

6 Turnovers for Rose? Ouch....

13 pts, 3 dimes and 3 boards is solid...but he was second in minutes.....

Gotta take better care of the rock....

ESPN's NBA front page said Rose earned MVP honors for the game. They just changed it to something else...but did he?

I think KD won the award...

Im pretty sure it was the other way around. Durant was MVP but Rose clutch drives at the end won the game

he was clutch in the end but that award (however ridiculous it is) should go to KD.
he consistently made tough shots in key moments.
derrick had a great start and was visibly more aggressive this time around but he played like crap for the entire 2nd half other than those 2 plays.

Yup thats what I read....fml I missed then end of the game, i wish i could've seen his plays.

Rose made some clutch shots when the game was on the line. Overall his defense was good. He was a little careless while dribbling. Rubio is a lot quicker than the guards on Lithuania and Rose should have kept the ball closer to him or used a hand check (which is permissible in FIBA).

Fernandez did not look that great. He had a few open 3 point shots and he missed them.

Team USA's biggest problem continues to be its weak front court. Chandler and Igoudola are both terrible. Odom played alright at center, but I would rather see Kevin Love getting more minutes at center.

If Kaman and Noah hadn't rushed their decisions, they would probably be on the US team. Hell, the same goes for Horford, but he was probably always going to play for the DR.

Love should definitely be playing a lot more.

Chandler only played 10 minutes Love, Granger, and Rondo were all DNP's.

I think Coach K is just experimenting with lineups right now.

re: the wiretap

how is curry not a lock to make the team

Looking forward what are the prospects Rose doesn't see the floor against Greece?

I won't be shocked if he sees few minutes. Coach K might give the bulk of the minutes to the guys on the bubble just to aid him make a cut

I think that Rondo will probably get the lion's share of the minutes after what transpired today, with Rose the odd man out.

Game recap from NBA.com

Rose had a nice layup to give Team USA the lead. Spain scored again and then on the next play Rose got fouled on a layup and made both free throws to regain the lead. Durant then won the game by blocking Rudy Fernandez.

VS.



Ronaldo you win!

No he doesn't.

BTW those last 4 points is why Rose is on this team

who cares they are both very hot.
anyways, it seems USA players have hard time guarding pick&roll. Guess that's why Boozer averages 20 points. I hope DRose can learn and run it like DWill.

They sure didn't wait to start calling Wall one of the best PG's in the league already.
